Competing abortion rights measures can appear on Nebraska ballot, high court rules

Competing measures that would expand or restrict abortion rights can appear on the ballot in Nebraska this fall, the state Supreme Court ruled Friday. 

The Nebraska Supreme Court ruled days after hearing arguments in three lawsuits that sought to keep one or both of the state's competing abortion initiatives off the November ballot.

Organizers for the competing measures each turned in far more than the 123,000 required valid signatures needed to get them on the ballot.
